Become a Member of Sophia Circles
The Sophia Institute (TSI) looks towards a world that could be called a wisdom society, a 21st century that could be called The Sophia Century: a conscious enlightened world, a compassionate global community where wholeness, healing, sustainability, the conscious heart, deep wisdom, and the sacred feminine are at the center of life. To bring this vision to reality, The Sophia Institute is launching a new program called Sophia Circles.
Sophia Circles Mission
Leveraging the transformative power of the circle and calling on the presence of the Divine Feminine, the mission of Sophia Circles is to expand its members’ ability to reach within themselves to recognize and practice their unique talents in the world for the betterment of society. The Sophia Circles will provide an opportunity for teaching/learning communities to emerge for men and women across the country (and ultimately globally) who are naturally drawn to the work of The Sophia Institute, whether they have already attended programs in Charleston, they intend to in the future or they are unable to for any reason. Most importantly, members support one another, fostering each others' awakening and growth creatively and spiritually.

They called on the presence of the Divine Feminine to guide their growth and the outcome. Out of this first circle, Rivers’ vision for The Sophia Institute took shape and fellow circle members . . . read more.

A Message from our First Sophia Circle
Enthralled. Captivated. Mesmerized. This best describes my immediate response to The Sophia Institute’s announcement about launching Sophia Circles – virtual teaching and learning communities drawing on and from the core wisdom and talents of TSI’s programming. This concept was introduced during their first-annual Women of Wisdom Conference last October – which fit perfectly with the conference focus of engaging ourselves in our communities and the world – in service to the future. This post is to share how this inspired idea moved me to action creating a wisdom circle in my community. I look at it . . . read more.
